Right need to get organised as close to the end of my budget, plus I want to run freezer to empty before holiday, as usual fruit and veg depends what needs using, loads of cereals in for breakfasts, most things in for lunches like baked potatoes, sandwiches etc.
Saturday - Stew & dumplings inc bulk cook for freezer
Sunday - Beef dinner, huge brisket in freezer, extras to be frozen for later
Rest of the week more flexible, loads of appointments etc so most will depend on time but will be a choice of these
Lasagne - bulk cook bolognese sauce for freezer aswell
Sausages, eggs and chips
Chilli and rice
Chicken curry
PizzaOne day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200

Here's my meal plan for the week, I'm finding this planning, using what we have in and only buying what we need as we need it eg fruit and veg is not only working out well, the household seems a tad happier, no more of those what's for tea, I don't know, what do you fancy convo's that used to end in going for a takeaway! Anyway this week coming breakfasts are cereal, porridge or toast from bread made in the BM. Lunches are sandwiches and fruit for both DH and me and our evening meals are:-
Saturday – Sweet n Sour Pork & Egg Fried Rice
Sunday – Roast Chicken, Roast Potatoes, Roast Parsnips, Carrots, Peas, Stuffing & Gravy.
Monday – Lamb Casserole with Leek Scones
Tuesday – Chicken & Leek Pie, New Potatoes & Peas (using left over chicken from weekend and tin of mushroom soup and frozen pastry already in.
Wednesday – Quiche, Chips & Beans (Made on Tuesday and left in the fridge)
Thursday – Pork Loin Steaks, Veg, Mash & Gravy
Friday – Potato Hash & Dumplings
Already made some cakes and scones ready for pudding in the week and froze an extra batch of scones uncooked so I can just pop them in the oven on Wednesday to restock supplies. Also plan making banana rice pudding in the slow cooker, after reading the coconut milk version, I thought I'd try banana milk, it works good on porridge with a sliced banana and a drizzle of honey it's more like a pudding than a breakfastNSD Challenge 2010:Jul 12/12; Jun 21/14 :T; May : 6/6
